Of course, many critics of multiculturalism accept that multiculturalism is normatively
desirable in principle, but argue that it has failed in practice. As Koopmans puts it, while
there are “legitimate normative reasons” for multiculturalism, “we cannot simply assume
that what is normatively justifiable will also be practically efficient,” and indeed he argues
that it has been counterproductive. But as I discussed earlier, it is far from clear that
multiculturalism has “failed” in practice. On the contrary, on many of the crucial indicators,
it appears that countries with the combination of enabling civic integration and MCPs are
doing comparatively well, as measured by levels of political participation, prejudice and farright
xenophobia, and trust and social cohesion.
